Re: Thailand's foreigner crackdown: stricter screening, monthly reports, working raids

If the authorities could be a little clearer, they should clarify the use of the term "foreign expat" because of the 4400 mentioned above it is most likely that 4399 are from one of the neighboring countries. Maybe also in the same vein do an investigation of the visa system here and make ...

Re: What is going rate for Health Insurance?

Make sure you sign up before you are 60. I myself are with Pacific cross and it jumped up considerable in price when 60. Thankfully never have needed to make a claim but have friends who have made claims both after medical treatment in Thailand and abroad and never have had issues getting the cost c...

Re: Krungsri Online (KOL) will be discontinued on October 1, 2025

I called Krungsri today and got the answer that I also afer 1. October still could transfer money from one Thai bank account and withdraw from an Krungsri ATM so for me the only difference will be that I cannot check my account online. Great back to the good old times with a Atm card and bank book :...

Re: Krungsri Online (KOL) will be discontinued on October 1, 2025

Thanks to the moderator for making my post a little more comprehensive. I wonder if it still would be possible to transfer money to a Krungsri account from another Thai bank without any app and then withdraw money from an Krungsri ATM with Visa debit? Which is actually the only thing I use Krungsri ...

Re: Snubbed middle-income retirees look beyond Thailand to SE Asia

I think you are exaggerating Thailand's popularity among Tom, Dick and Harry a bit now. I myself have family in Europe and the US, some wealthy, others middle class, well-educated and well-travelled and after almost three decades here for me they still don't understand what is so "superb" ...

Re: Snubbed middle-income retirees look beyond Thailand to SE Asia

IMO, it is unrealistic to set up requirements for a retirement visa in a country where the local estimated average income is 21,000 US dollars and even that amount, I think is a bit exaggerated from what I can see around me :roll: – https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/real-gdp-per-capita/ H...

Re: Booster Vaccines - Covid 19

The current outbreak was reported to be mild but fast-spreading, not sure if that's still the info. On that basis I'm not interested in a jab, but my real interest is in knowing how many actually had more than the initial two jabs years ago? I held off until I could get two Astrozenicas and then di...

Re: Effect of enforcing Thai motoring legislation

I don’t travel to Bangkok very often, but whenever I do, the utilisation of helmets is a high%, which I assume is due to better enforcement, so it can work and with higher penalties, the message should get round pretty quick if the BIB get out there and do what they’re paid to do!!
